Chapter 48: Infiltrating the Enemy

A few days later, when Gu Huaishan and his companions finally completed their rest, he led a team of nearly twenty people with a solemn expression. They stood neatly at the door, quietly waiting for Jiang Xianchuan’s arrival.

Before long, Jiang Xianchuan’s figure appeared in their sight. He immediately noticed the rather large team and a look of surprise appeared on his face. “Are you taking so many people out?”

Gu Huaishan nodded upon hearing this and explained, “According to the intelligence we have, they have quite a few ability users in their camp.”

However, Jiang Xianchuan waved his hand dismissively and said, “No need, you only need to pick a few with good skills and strong combat power to come with me.”

At that moment, Li Lingyu, who had been standing silently beside Jiang Xianchuan, suddenly grabbed his hand tightly and interjected, “I can help you too.”

Jiang Xianchuan turned his head to look at Gu Huaishan with a smile, seemingly full of confidence in himself and Li Lingyu. Gu Huaishan, looking at the confident Jiang Xianchuan in front of him, couldn’t help but think to himself: this person really doesn’t know the immensity of heaven and earth, and hasn’t seen the fierce and cruel life-and-death battles between true ability users, so he thinks things are so simple and easy.

“Since you’ve agreed to accept my help, then trust me, okay?” Jiang Xianchuan looked at them with firm eyes, a reassuring strength revealed within them. Gu Huaishan sighed helplessly, looking at Jiang Xianchuan’s confident demeanor.

Gu Huaishan silently turned around and walked forward, his steps seeming a bit heavy. Jiang Xianchuan, however, seemed completely unconcerned about the danger that was about to come. His face was full of a relaxed and cheerful smile, like someone enjoying a beautiful spring outing.

He held Li Lingyu’s hand tightly in one hand and pointed to the surrounding scenery with the other, excitedly talking about something. Li Lingyu also responded from time to time, and the atmosphere between the two was very harmonious.

And so, Gu Huaishan walked silently in front, constantly wondering if he had made a wrong decision.

After all, this mission was full of unknowns and risks, and Jiang Xianchuan seemed so unreliable. Time passed minute by minute, and after about an hour, Gu Huaishan finally stopped.

He raised his hand and pointed to a seemingly ordinary farmhouse in the distance, saying, “It’s there.”

Jiang Xianchuan looked in the direction Gu Huaishan pointed and nodded to show that he understood. Then, he turned his head and said to the two behind him, “You guys hide here first. I’ll just go and take a look at the situation. Lingyu, you stay here obediently too.”

Before the words were even finished, Jiang Xianchuan was about to step forward, but at that moment, Li Lingyu suddenly reached out and grabbed him, bringing his mouth close to Jiang Xianchuan’s ear, and softly asked, “Kill them?”

Jiang Xianchuan was slightly stunned, then shook his head and whispered, “Don’t be impulsive, let’s see what the situation is first.” With that, Jiang Xianchuan gently patted Li Lingyu’s shoulder, and then resolutely walked towards the farmhouse.

As Jiang Xianchuan approached the farmhouse, a stern shout suddenly came: “Who are you! This is our territory! You are not allowed to take another step forward!” Hearing the shout, Jiang Xianchuan immediately stopped.

He slowly raised his hands, indicating that he had no malice, and at the same time smiled and explained, “Me? I should be considered passing by… I just saw that there’s a farmhouse here, and I was curious to come and take a look.”

At that moment, Jiang Xianchuan was casually dealing with the person in front of him, while focusing all his energy to keep his mind clear and sharp.

He thought to himself, planning to try to use his space simulation ability to find out where Yi Yuzhi was. However, to his dismay, the range he could currently explore was too narrow and limited, which meant that he had to get closer to accurately find the target.

Thinking of this, Jiang Xianchuan did not hesitate to take a few steps forward again. At the same time, he shouted loudly towards the person at the farmhouse, “Hey, do you guys have anything to eat here? I haven’t had a proper meal for several days. If you can get me some food, then I might consider helping you do some things.”

Hearing this, the person at the farmhouse was slightly stunned, paused briefly, and then slowly asked, “Then what kind of special ability do you have?”

Jiang Xianchuan’s lips curled up slightly, revealing a confident smile, and he replied, “Hehe, to tell you the truth, my ability is to control ice at will.”

As soon as the words fell, he quickly took out a few crystal-clear ice cubes from his space and carefully hid them in his palm. Then, he slowly opened his palm, showing the other party the ice cubes that exuded a trace of coldness.

The person’s face changed dramatically when he saw this scene. The original cold expression suddenly became enthusiastic. He hurriedly said with a smile, “Oh, is that so! This brother, why don’t you come inside and sit down, and we can have a more detailed and in-depth chat!”

Jiang Xianchuan was secretly delighted to see the other party’s attitude take a 180-degree turn, but on the surface he still pretended to be nonchalant and continued to walk forward, replying, “Sure.”

When the gate opened, Jiang Xianchuan walked in, and then a middle-aged man came out. He seemed to be the leader of this camp, “Oh brother, you’re actually an ice-type ability user. We are extremely honored that you joined our camp.”

The corners of Jiang Xianchuan’s mouth turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile. The man saw this and a hint of curiosity flashed in his eyes. He immediately asked, “Brother, how did you get this ability?”

Jiang Xianchuan replied casually, “Oh, I passed by a place before, called City of Forgotten or something? That should be the name. There’s a guy there who always had a straight face like a poker card, so annoying! Who knew he was an ability user? I just took care of him on a whim.”

After hearing this, the middle-aged man immediately beamed with joy and said excitedly, “Xiao Zhang, quickly arrange a comfortable room for this new brother!” Then he turned his head and said to Jiang Xianchuan with a smile, “Brother, you must be tired after a long journey, go in and rest well. Oh right, I haven’t had a chance to ask your name yet?” Jiang Xianchuan responded unhurriedly, “My name is Zhu Zhuxia.” The middle-aged man nodded with a smile and said, “So it’s Brother Zhu, my surname is Wang, you can call me Wang Ge in the future.”

As he spoke, the group escorted Jiang Xianchuan to the door of the room prepared for him. As soon as he entered the door, Jiang Xianchuan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked, “By the way, Wang Ge, I wonder if there is anyone here who can let me test the effect of my ability?”

Xiao Zhang, who was standing beside him, quickly nodded and said, “Yes, yes, of course!” After saying that, he enthusiastically and attentively led Jiang Xianchuan into another room.

“This is a hostage we captured from that City of Forgotten, but now that we have your brother’s joining us, this hostage is of no use. Brother, you can dispose of him as you wish,” the person who said this was smiling flatteringly.

Jiang Xianchuan nodded slightly and responded, “Okay, I’ll study it myself here.” Hearing this, Xiao Zhang turned around and left knowingly.

After confirming that there was no one else around, Jiang Xianchuan slowly squatted down and looked at the bound Yi Yuzhi with concern, and asked softly, “Are you okay?” At this time, Yi Yuzhi’s consciousness was still a little unclear. He had not eaten for many days, and he looked extremely weak. Seeing this, Jiang Xianchuan quickly took out some clean water from his space and carefully fed it to his mouth.

Yi Yuzhi swallowed these life-saving water in big gulps. After a while, his mental state improved significantly. After catching his breath, he said gratefully, “Thank you… but who are you?”

Jiang Xianchuan smiled slightly and replied, “I’m working under Gu Huaishan.” As soon as he heard the name Gu Huaishan, a bright light flashed in Yi Yuzhi’s originally dim eyes, and he eagerly asked, “Are Brother Huaishan and the others okay?” Jiang Xianchuan comforted, “They are safe and sound, you don’t have to worry. But you, you should worry about your current situation first.”
